    Default Restore Horn

    I've got a razor in that the gentleman wants me to keep the original scales on. It's an old W&B with horn scales that are actually not in horrible horrible shape. If it was one that he planned on reselling I would have told him to put new horn on it. However, it was his grandfather's and he wants to keep it as original as possible. I can't say that I blame him.

    Is there any way to rejuvenate these old scales a bit? I hit them with a small piece of 2000 grit with water just to see how they'd respond and it shined up ok. Would soaking them in an oil of some sort help bring them back. Horn experts help!
